Hmm for the Falcons i like the trade up in the 2nd round. But with us losing our 3rd round pick then i don't like taking 2 DE's back to back it's just not smart football with us still having so many more needs that we have to cover.

We still need a OLB, NT, and CB We have to come away with atleast 1 of those other ones outside of just DE in the 1st 3 rounds or were gonna be in deep trouble.

So keep the trade and keep Datone Jones there in the 2nd round im fine with that pick. Okafer is probably the same quality DE as Joneas they are both mid to late 2nd rounders at this point in the draft so i rather not reach on him to much.

Look at a player like Jessie Williams DT or Trufant in the 1st.

Or you can keep the Okafer pick and stll do the trade up and give us a player like darius Slay at CB or GReene at OLB or Williams at NT if he is still available and we can get that high.

Just so many better ways to go with this draft than 2 DE back to back while we losing a 3rd round pick to cover so many of our other needs.

Plus we are going to bring in a vet DE so that covers 1 DE spot leaving us with only 1 DE really needed this year.

With either Osi, Abe, Freeney, or Doom coming in FA + Biermann, Massaqui, Matthews, + Okafer or Jones thats 5 DE's Can't think of any team that would keep 6 DE on the roster._________________ 2010 and 2013

That's a sexy Star jersey Great pick in the 1st but I'd rather have Warford in the 2nd over Pugh. Hate the trade because for one, safety isn't really a need after signing Pollard and Wilson. Loved to trade up and get Carradine with that pick._________________

The only thing worse than taking Geno at #4 would be trading away our 2nd along with that pick to move up and take him.

I would gladly just stay put and take Fisher.

Then take Jesse Williams or Jordan Poyer in the 2nd. Or even EJ Manuel there if we absolutely need a QB in Chip's and Howie's eyes._________________2013 Eagles Forum HOF

Im not as against the trade up for DT FLoyd as most are, as long as its the 5th RD pick and not the 4th like i think you said at some point..

.i think he will be an elite DT in the years to come in the mold of what Kevin Williams was to us in his prime(he was also selected #9 IIRC, well it should have been 7 but I think we all remember the whole draft debacle of not choosing a player until after our time was up )

Obviously you know you missed our 2nd RD pick..we pick after washington...would go WR, CB, or LB there...could see LB as its not as deep as WR or CB..would go Khaseem Greene there myself..maybe CB Wreh-Wilson

We would still have 2 3rd RD and 2 4th RD picks if we traded the 5th..

can still get quality CBs like Ryan/Mcfadden...WRs like Hunter/Patton/Williams...G's like Winters/Bailey..the options are endless with 4 picks in those 2 RDS...we could even package some of those and get back into the 2nd to get a guy we covet.

.i think others are just mad cuz they would rather have 2 higher quality guys in RD1 then one elite and multiple good prospects in later rds...we technically only lose 1 pick out of the 11 we have..its just a high one.

RD1 DT Floyd
RD2 LB Greene
RD3a,b
RD4a,b
RD6
RD7a,b,c

Still have all those picks to target needs_________________Can you Stephon Diggs it?!!!

Geno Smith is a loser, no way is he worth that trade. He's not worth it at 4.

Your opinion and you are more than entitled to it, but the Eagles seem to disagree with you.

A lot of people in NFL circles don't think any team in the top 5 has any real interest in geno. Eagles are a top 5 team.

So how do they disagree with me?

Philly's entire organization, including the owner, went to see Geno at his Pro Day. The last time the owner went to a pro day was Donovan McNabb.

I think thats pretty telling. I would be nothing short of shocked if the Eagles dont walk out of this draft without Geno.

Also, after his pro day, most think he has solidified himself as a top 10 pick at worst.

West Virginia isn't exactly far from philadelphia, I don't see how that is telling. Maybe if jeff took the time to fly to california to see someone.

Plus I am pretty sure all players that go to philadelphia for workouts probably meet him too. We don't draft all 30 of those guys every year.

The OWNER went out to watch it. He hasnt done that since McNabb. That tells me all I need to know. Close or not. You are more than welcome to write it off, as that is your opinion. But you cant say for sure one way or the other._________________

Get him to fling poo more accurately and make better decisions when flinging it?
